Exactly. I've been disseminating a similar message for years.

The concentration of power in AI and the desire for control is by far the biggest danger of AI. It could lead to a few private companies and/or countries being in control of access to information, access to knowledge, and access to the tools of economic expansion.
It's a kind of medieval obscurantism akin to the Ottoman empire banning the use of the printing press for 200 years, in part to keep control of the dogma, but also to protect the corporation of the calligraphers and scribes.

Relevant historical bits about the Internet:
1. It took a deliberate decision by Al Gore and Bill Clinton to open up access of what was then ARPAnet to commercial entities and to the public, against the desires of the entrenched telecom industry. During a public roundtable about the "information superhighway" in 1993, the CEO of AT&T told Gore and Clinton "leave it to us". Gore said no.
2. In the late 1980s, setting up an Internet presence required buying proprietary hardware with proprietary OS and software stack from Sun Microsystems, HP, IBM, or Dell. By the 2000s, all of this was wiped out by commodity hardware, Linux, Apache, and an entirely free/open software stack. This migration to open platforms was the result of market forces.

Infrastructure wants to be open.
Foundation models are becoming an infrastructure and will inevitably become commoditized.
Long term, the money is in the application layer, which is what I, Arthur Mensch, Alex Karp, and others have been saying.

@Polymarket can't believe they slept on calling the startup Bombadil

@naval hopefully, once it finishes the digestion it won’t turn it into waste.

@sleepdiplomat can’t wait to see where further research on this goes.

this pretty much reflects something i’ve been struggling with for a while: tired throughout the day, despite sleep tracking devices flagging my sleep as all perfect.

@gregmushen recently purchased one of those walking pads and it has changed my life.

prior to that, i thought i wasn’t sedentary (working from home in tech also a gamer) because i lift heavy 5 times a week; i was wrong.

very informative post on the benefits of brisk walks!
